LETTER TO NAHSHALL BIN MAALIK, CHIEF OF BANI VA'IL


In the name of Allah, the Compassionate, the Merciful

From Muhammad, Prophet of Allah



To Nahshall bin Maalik and the people of Bani Va'il, who have already accepted Islam.



All the people should keep on saying prayers; paying Zakat; obeying Allah and His Prophet and paying one fifth out of the benefits of holy wars for Allah and His Prophet. Keep on proclaiming acceptance of Islam; and staying away from the infidels. All such people are in the protection and trust of Allah, and Muhammad (S.A.W.) who are responsible for saving them from every kind of oppression and excesses.



Neither shall these people be exiled, nor Ush'r (One tenth) charged from their produce. Their ruler shall be from amongst them.'



Seal: Allah's Prophet Muhammad
